re: What's the most pressure filled situation that you have ever been in?

Driving from Dallas to Texarkana with a large quantity of cocaine. A headlight on my car burned out on I-30 and a Texas Trooper stopped me. He said it wasn't a big deal, he'd just write me a warning ticket and asked to see my license. I didn't realize I'd left my license in my briefcase at home until then. When I told him he said, "That is a big deal."

Going to prison for intent to distribute and learning to braid some dude named Bubba's hair flashed thru my mind.

He told me to get out and sat me in his car. Sitting in his car near Hooks, TX, while he checked my name out, I asked if that wasn't Earl Campbell's hometown. He said no, Billy Sims is who you're thinking of. We talked about Billy coming back to visit and Barry Switzer coming too. By the time we'd finished reminiscing about Billy Sims and Barry, the officer told me how to make a copy of my license and mail it to the address on the ticket, to get out of paying the ticket.

College Football saved me from having him search my car and from me having to keep Bubba's cell clean.
